The right firefighter door wedge depends on what you need it to do and how you plan to carry it. The Onyx FiberPRO is the lightest door chock in this comparison, the Billy GOAT 7075 is a larger aluminum wedge with additional carry options, and the Mini GOAT is the smallest aluminum wedge for compact personal carry.
These three models were previously offered by Little River Customs and are different tools. This guide compares the verified differences so you can choose the one that fits your gear setup, training, and department procedures.
Quick Comparison of the Three Wedge Options
| Product | Weight | Material | Carry setup | Best starting point when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Onyx FiberPRO | About 3.4 ounces | Fiberglass reinforced plastic | Single wedge or optional fitted pouch | You want a very light door chock with a notched profile |
| Billy GOAT 7075 | About 7 ounces | 7075 aluminum | Six inch bungee included with wedge options and an optional pouch | You want a larger aluminum wedge with more carry choices |
| Mini GOAT | About 2.7 ounces | Brushed aluminum | Paracord lanyard and clip | You want the smallest and lightest aluminum option in this group |
Onyx FiberPRO for Lightweight Door Control
The Onyx FiberPRO Wedge weighs about 3.4 ounces and is made from fiberglass reinforced plastic. Its notched profile can balance on a hinge or help hold a door, and the T shaped openings allow it to be carried on the pike of a Halligan tool.
Choose the Onyx when your priority is keeping weight low while carrying a dedicated door chock. The assortment previously offered by Little River Customs included a single wedge, a fitted canvas pouch option, and multiple quantities.
Billy GOAT 7075 for a Larger Aluminum Wedge
The Billy GOAT Wedge 7075 weighs about 7 ounces and is machined from 7075 aluminum. It uses a notched body, T shaped carry openings, and a blunt working tip. The wedge configurations described here include a six inch bungee, with a fitted canvas pouch available in one option.
This is the heaviest of the three choices in this guide. That extra weight comes with a larger aluminum wedge format intended to support door control and trained forcible entry work. If that is the role missing from your current tool setup, the Billy GOAT is the stronger starting point to compare.
Mini GOAT for the Smallest Personal Carry Setup
The Mini GOAT weighs about 2.7 ounces and measures 3.5 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch high. It is supplied with a paracord lanyard and attachment clip.
Its compact size makes it the easiest of these three to evaluate when pocket space and gear bulk are the main concerns. The product is designed to help establish an initial purchase on a door and is sold in one brushed aluminum configuration.
What to Compare Before You Buy
Weight and Bulk
The Mini GOAT is the lightest at about 2.7 ounces, followed by the Onyx FiberPRO at about 3.4 ounces. The Billy GOAT 7075 weighs about 7 ounces. None of those numbers should decide the purchase by themselves, but they matter when the tool has to live in a pocket, pouch, helmet band, or other existing carry setup.
Material and Working Profile
The Onyx uses fiberglass reinforced plastic. The Billy GOAT and Mini GOAT are aluminum. The Onyx and Billy GOAT both use notched profiles, while the Mini GOAT uses a compact tapered form. Choose based on the job you expect the tool to support rather than assuming every wedge is interchangeable.
How You Want to Carry It
Carry method is one of the clearest differences. The Onyx can be ordered with a fitted pouch. The Billy GOAT includes a bungee with its wedge configurations and also has a pouch option. The Mini GOAT arrives with a lanyard and clip.
Look at the gear you already carry before adding another tool. A smaller wedge may fit an existing pocket better. A pouch may make more sense if you want the tool separated from other equipment. Confirm current configurations and included items with the manufacturer before ordering elsewhere.
When a Complete Entry Kit Makes More Sense
If you need more than a wedge, compare a complete entry kit before building a setup one component at a time. The existing firefighter entry tool kit guide compares the Quick Kit, PEAK Bundle, Through the Lock Kit, and JTEK by tool mix and carry format.
That article owns the complete kit comparison. This guide is specifically for firefighters deciding which individual wedge or door chock better fills a gap in their current gear.
Choose Based on the Gap in Your Current Setup
Start with the Onyx FiberPRO if a lightweight dedicated door chock is the priority. Compare the Billy GOAT 7075 if you want a larger aluminum wedge with more carry options. Look at the Mini GOAT when minimum weight and compact personal carry matter most.
Door construction, operating conditions, and tool placement vary. Use any entry tool only within your hands on training, authorization, department procedures, and applicable laws.
